Now  hear  another  loss.  As 
the  mind  far  excels  the  body,  so 
you  confess  that  the  rzc//e«  of  the

of  the  body. 

You  say  what  is  likely. 

But  among  the  good  things  of 
the  mind,  wisdom  has  the  first 
place. 

I  confess. 

No  fiart  of  the  day  /*  more 
useful  for  the  getting  of  this, 
than  the  morning,  when  the 
sun  rising  fresh  brings  vigour 
and  briskness  to  all  things^  and 
dissipates  the  fumes  that  use  to 
be  exhaled  out  of  the  stomacji, 
whieh  are  wont  to  cloud  the 
habitation  of  the  mind, 

I  do  not  dispute  it. 

Now  reckon  up  for  me  //ow 
much  learning  ijou  might  get  to 
yourself  in  those  four  hours, 
which  you  lose  iri  unseasonable 
sleep. 

Much  indeed. 

I  have  experienced  that 
more  is  done  iii  one^s  studies^  in 
one  hour  in  the  mornings  than 
in  three  in  the  afternooh,  and 
that  with  no  damage  to  the 
body. 

I  have  heard  so. 

Then  consider  that ;  if  you 
cast  up  into  a  sum  the  loss  of 
every  day^  how  great  a  mass  it 
will  be.

6w^  it  is  seen  with  the  eyes  of 
the  mind,  which  is  the  better

incredible  love,  i'Acre  must  6e  the 
greatest /z/easz^re,  as  oft  as  ?Ae

But  in  the  mean  time  nightly 
sports  are  lost. 

He  loses  lead  well  who 
turns  it  into  gold.  Nature  has 
given  the  ni^Ut  for  sleep.  The

Now  cast  up  the  account  /<^ 
me,  how  great  a  part  ol  life 
they  cut  off  from  themselves, 
ivho  every  day  lose  three  or 
fouf  hours  in  sleep. 

I  see  an  immense  sum. 

Would  you  not  reckon  the 
alchymist  fer  a  god,  that  could 
add  ten  years  to  the  sum  of 
your  life^  and  call  back  advanced 
age  to  the  vigour  of  youth  ? 

Why  should  I  not  reckon 
him  so  ? 

But  you  may  do  this  so  divine 
a  benefit  to  yourself. 

How  so  ? 

Because  the  morning  is  the 
youth  of  the  day  ;  youth  keeps 
warm  till  noon.  By  and  by 
the  manly  age,  after  nvhith 
comes  the  evening  for  old  age  ; 
sun-set  succeeds  the  evening,  as 
4he  death  of  the  day.  And 
frugality  i^  a  great  revenue,  but 
no  where  greater  than  here. 
Has  he  not  therefore  procured 
to  himaelf  ?<  great  gain,  wi*fe  has 
ceasedxo  lose  a  great  part  of  his 
life,  and  that  the  best  ? 

You  say  true. 

Wherefore  their  complaint 
seems  very  impudent,  ivho  ac- 
cuse nature  for  having  bound- 
ed the  life  of  man  ivithin  so  nar^

the  whole  city^  and  in  my  judg»

a  wife.

yet  I  married  her  more  for  issue ^ 
than  for  pleasure.  I  lived  with 
her  most  pleasantly  no  more

Did  she  leave  you  childless  ? 
Nay,  two   sons,  and  as  ?nan'^

Do  you  \i\t  a  firivate  fierson^ 
or  do  yau  bear  any  office  ? 

I  have  a  fiuhlic  office.  Great' 
er  fiUues  migUl  i^a-ve  fallen  to 
me,  but  I  chose  this /or  mijself^ 
because  it  had  so  much  of  hon- 
our^ that  it  would  secure  me 
from  contemfit^  but  not  at  all  li- 
able to  troublesome  business. 
So  there  is  no  reason  that  any 
one  should  object  that  1  live  for 
myself.  And  it  is  hence  I  can 
be  serviceable  to  viy  friends 
too,  sometimes :  content  with 
this,  I  sought  no  more  :  but  I 
bore  my  office  so,  that  dignity 
accrued  to  hfro/n  me,  I  reck- 
on this  handsomer  than  to  bov' 
roiv  dignity /rom  the  sfilcndour 
of  an  office. 

Nothing  more  true. 

Thus  I  grew  old  among  my 
citizens  dear  to  all. 

Tiiat  is  very  hard,  seeing  it 
has  been  said  not  without  rea- 
son, that  he  who  has  no  body 
his  enefny,  has  not  any  one  his 
friend  ;  and  that  envy  is  always 
the  comfianion  of  happiness. 

Envy  uses  to  attend  upon  ex- 
traordinary  happiness.  A  mean 
is  safe.  And  this  was  iny  con- 
stant care^  not  to  procure  to 
myself  any  advantage  bi^  the

its  increase  threughout  the 
whole  world,  has  its  beginning 
from  Romulus,  who  being  the 
son  of  a  Vestal  Nun  and  (as 
was  supposed)  of  Mars,  was 
born  at  the  same  birth  with  his 
brother  Remus.  He,  while 
he  robbed  among  the  shep- 
herds, being  but  18  years  old, 
built  a  little  city  upon  the  Pal- 
atine mount,  upon  the  eleventh 
of  the  calends  of  May,  in  the 
third  year  of  the  sixth  Olym- 
piad, in  the  394th  year  from 
the  destruction  of  Troy. 

2,  Having  built  the  city, 
which  he  called  by  his  own 
name  Rome,  he  performed 
tbese  things.  He  took  great 
numbers  of  his  neighbours  in- 
to his  city.  He  chose  a  hun- 
dred of  the  elders  of  the  peofile  ; 
by  whose  advice  he  managed 
all  his  affairs  ;  whom  he  called 
senators»  because  of  their  age. 
Then,  as  he  and  his  people  had 
no  wives,  he  invited  the  na* 
tions,  neighbours  to  his  city, 
to  the  sight  of  games,  and 
seized  their  young  wome«. 
Wars  commencing  for  the  in- 
justice of  seizing  the  ivomen, 
he  conquered  the  Caeninen- 
sians,  the  Antemnauans,  Crus- 
tuminians,  Sabines,  Fidena- 
tians,  Vejentians,  (all  these 
town»  surrounded  the  city.) 
And  as  in  a  slorm  that  rose 
on  a  sudden,  he  disappeared  in 
the  ST'ih  year  of  his  reign  ;  bO" 
ing  st^pposed  to  have  gone  to 
the  Gods,  be  was  accordingly

deified.  After  that,  the  aena" 
tors  reigned  at  Rome  for  five 
days  eachydind  whilst  they  reign- 
ed one  year  was  completed. 

3.  Afterwards  Numa  Pom- 
pilius  was  made  king,  who 
carried  on  indeed  no  war,  but 
was  no  less  serviceable  to  the 
city  than  Romulus.  For  he 
established  laws  and  wholesome 
usages  amongst  the  Romans, 
who  from  a  custom  of  fighting, 
were  now  thought  robbers  and 
hall  barbarians.  He  divided 
the  year  into  ten  months,  nvhich 
had  been  confused  before  with- 
out anypro/ier  reckoning :  and 
he  instituted  an  infinite  num- 
ber of  holy  rites,  and  built  ma' 
ny  temples  at  Rome.  He  di-

him;  He  renewed  the  wars, 
conquered  the  Albans,  who  are 
at  the  twelfth  mile  from  the 
city  Rome :  he  subdued  the 
Veientes  and  the  Fidenates, 
one  of  which  are  distant 
six  miles  from  the  city  of 
Rome,  and  the  other  eighteen. 
He  enlarged  the  city  by  adding 
mount  Cselius.  After  he  had 
reigned  32  years,  he  was  thun- 
der-struck, and  was  burnt  »ip> 
together  with  his  house. 

5.  After  him  was  Ancus 
Martius,  the  grandson  of  Nu-

him  the  government.  He

Tullius  suscepit  imperi- 
um,  genitus  ex  nobili  foe- 
mina,  captiva  tamen  8c  an- 
cilia.  Hie  quoque  Sabi- 
nos  subegit,  montes  tres, 
Quirinalem,  Viminalem, 
Ksquilinum  urbi  adjunxit, 
fossas  circum  murum 
duxit.  Primus  omnium 
Censum  ordinavit,  qui  ad- 
huc  per  orbem  terrarum 
incognitus  erat.  Sub  eo

culum  to  the  city.  He  built 
the  city  of  Ostia  upon  the 
sea,  at  the  sixteenth  mile  from 
the  city  of  Rome.  He  died  a 
natural  death  in  the  24th  year 
of  his  reign. 

6.  Then  Priscus  Tarquinius 
got  the  kingdom.  He  doubled 
the  number  of  the  senators  j 
built  a  Circus  at  Rome  ;  insti- 
tuted the  Roman  games,  vhlch 
continue  to  our  limes.  The 
same  firince  likewise  conquer- 
ed the  Sabines  ;  and  added  to 
the  territory  of  the  city  of 
Rome  not  a  little  land,  which 
he  had  taken  from  the  same  ; 
and  first  entered  the  city  in 
triumph.  He  made  the  walls 
and  Cloacee ;  he  began  the 
capitol.  He  was  slain  by  the 
sons  of  Ancus,  that  king,whom 
he  had  succeeded,  in  the  38th 
year  of  his  reign, 

7.  After  him  Servius  Tulli- 
us took  upon  him  the  govern- 
ment, born  of  a  noble  woman, 
but  yet  a  captive  and  a  maid 
servant.  He  too  subdued  the 
Sabines,  added  three  moun- 
tains,t)je  Quiiinal,  Viminal  and 
Esquiline,  to  the  city,  and 
drew  ditches  round  the  wall. 
He  likewise  first  instituted  the 
Census,  which  had  been  ao  yet 
unknown  in  the  world.  Under 
him  all  people  being  brought 
under  this  census,  Rome  had 
eighty  four  thousand  heads  of 
Roman  citizens,  with  those 
that  were  in  the  country.     He

had  succeeded,  and  of  his  own

the  kings,  conquered  the  Vol- 
scians  (which  nation  is  not  iar

tance of  18  miles  from  the  ci-

For  when  his  son  Tarquin  the

began  to  be  made  instead  of 
one  king,  for  this  reason  ;  that 
if  one  had  a  mind  to  be  wicked, 
the  other  having  the  like  au- 
thority, might  restrain  him. 
And  it  was  thought  fit  they 
should  hold  their  power  no 
longer  than  for  a  year,  lest  they 
«hould  be  rendered  insolent  by 
the  long  continuance  of  their 
authority,  but  should  be  always 
moderate,  who  knew  that  they 
should  be  private  persons  after 
a  year.  Wherefore  in  the  first 
year  afcer  the  Tarquins  were 
banished,  L.  Juniub  Brutus, 
who  had  particularly  exerted 
himself,  that  Tarquin  might  be 
banished,  and  Tarquinius  Col- 
lutinus,  the  husband  of  Lucre- 
tia,  were  made  Consuls.  But 
this  dignity  was  taken  imme- 
diately from  Tarquinius  Colla-

that  no  one  should  coiiiinae  in 
the  ciiy,  that  was  called  Tar-

quin,  killed  one  another.  Yet 
the  Romans  came  off  from 
that  battle  victorious.  The 
Roman  matrons  moui-ned  for 
Brutus  the  defender  of  their 
honour,  as  a  common  father,

13.  In  the  sixteenth  year  af- 
ter the  banishment  of  the  roy- 
al family,  the  people  made  a 
mutiny  at  Rome,  as  if  they 
were  oppressed  by  the  Senate 
and  Consuls.  Then  too  they 
made  for  themselves  Tribunes 
of  the  Commons,  as  tlicir  own 
proper  judges  and  defenders^ 
by  whom  they  might  be  secur- 
ed against  the  Seniiie  and 
Consuls. 

14.  In  the  following  year, 
the  Volsci  rcinewed  the  war 
against  the  Romans  :  and  be- 
ing defeated  in  tae  field,  lost 
likewise  Corioli,  the  best  city 
which  they   had. 

15.  In  the  18ih  year  after 
the  royal  family  were  turned 
out  Q,  Marcius,  a  general  of 
the  Romans,  who  had  taken 
Corioli,  a  city  of  the  Volsci, 
being  banished  the  city,  went 
over  to  the  Volsci  in  a  rage, 
and  received  assistance  against 
the  Romans.  He  often  con- 
quered the  Romans.  He  came 
wii.hin  five  miles'of  the  city, 
designing  loo  to  attack  the 
place  of  his  nativity,  rejecting 
the  deputies  that  begged  peace 

from  him^  unless  his  mother 
Veturia,  and  his  wife  Volum-

city,  by  whose  weeping  and 
importunity  being  prevailed 
upon,  he  drew  off  his   army  i

Tarquin,  who  was  general  of 
an  army  against  his  own  coun-

16.  When  Caeso  Fabius  and 
Titus  Virginius  were  Consuls, 
300  noblemen,  who  were  of 
the  Fabian  family  undertook 
alone  the  war  against  the  Ve- 
jentes, promising  the  Senate 
and  people  to  manage  that 
whole  dispute  by  themselves. 
Wherefore  going  accordingly^ 
all  of  them  noblemen,  and  who 
each  of  them  ought  to  have 
been  leaders  of  great  armies, 
they  fell  in  battle.  But  one 
was  left  of  so  great  a  family, 
who  by  reason  of  his  childish 
age  could  not  be  carried  to  the 
battle.  After  this  the  Census 
was  again  taken  in  the  city, 
and  there  were  found  to  be  a 
hundred  and  nineteen  thous- 
and freemen. 

17.  In  the  following  year, 
the  Roman  army  being  besieg-

the  twelfth  mile  from  the  city, 
L.  Quintius  Cincinnatus  was 
made  Dictator,  who  possessing 
a  piece  of  land  of  four  jugera, 
tilled  it  with  his  own  hands. 
He  being  found  at  work  and 
ploughing,  wiping  off  the 
sweat,  took  the  Toga  Praetex-

delivered  the  army.

divic^ed  the  plunder  unfairly,

reason  and  banished  the  city.

Senones  came  to  the  city,  and 
pursuing  the  Romans  after 
they  had  defeated  them  11 
miles  from  the  city  Rome,  at 
the  river  AUia,  they  likewise 
took  the  city  ;  nor  could  any

Romans  were  now  pinched  by

they  were  overthrown  with 
great  loss ;  however  after-

IN  the  year  365  from  the 
building  of  the  city,  but  the 
first  after  its  being  taken,  the 
government  was  altered  ;  and 
instead  of  two  Consuls,  milita- 
ry Tribunes,  with  Consular 
power,  were  made.  From 
this  lime  the  Roman  state  be- 
gan to  grow.  For  Camillus 
that  year  subdued  the  nation 
of  the  Volsci,  which  had  car- 
ried ©n  a  war  against  the  Ro- 
vians  for  70  years,  as  also  the 
city  of  the  JEqui  and  the  Sutri- 
ni,  and  made  himself  master 
of  thehti  all,  cutting  off  their 
armies,  and  had  three  triumphs 
together. 

2.  T.  Quintius  Cincinnatus 
likewise  pursuing  the  Praene»- 
tini,  who  had  come  in  a  hostile 
manner  up  to  the  gates  of 
Rome,  conquered  them  at  the 
river  AUia,  and  added  the  ci- 
ties which  were  under  them) 
to  the  Romans  ;  and  attacking 
Praeneste  itself,  took  it  by  sur- 
render ;  all  which  things  were 
done  by  him  in  twenty  days, 
and  a  triumph  was  voted  him. 

3,  But  the  oflfice  of  military 
Tribunes  did  not  continue 
long  ;  for  after  some  time,  it 
was  thought  fit  no  more  should 
be  made  ;  and  four  years  past 
in  the  city  so,  that  there  were

after,  when  the  fight  against

struck  the  eyes  of  the  Gaul  with

could  not  look  right  before  ;  so 
that  being  slain  by  the  Tribune, 
he  gave  him  not  only  the  victo-

both  defeated  the  Samnites, 
and  took  abundance  of  their

they  had  offered  an  abuse  to

rius Lgevinus  was  sent  against 
l)im  :  who,  when  he  had  taken 
Pyrrhus's  scouts,  ordered  them 
to  be  led  through  the  camp,  and 
the  whole  army  to  be  shewn 
them,  and  tlien  to  be  dismissed, 
tl\at  they  might  tell  Pyrrhus 
what  was  doing  by  the  Romans, 
Soon  after  a  battle  being  fought» 
when  now  Pyrrhus  was  ready 
to  run  for  it,  he  prevailed  by 
the  asbistance  of  his  elephants, 
which  the  Romans  dreaded,  as 
being  unknown  io  them.  But 
night  put  an  end  to  the  battle. 
Lsevinus  however  fled  in  the 
night.  Pyrrhus  took  eighteen 
hundred  Romans,  and  treated 
them  with  the  greatest  honour^ 
a^ic/ buried  their  slain.  Whom 
when  he  saw  lie  with  wounds 
before,  ard  stern  looks  even 
ivhen  dead,  he  is  said  to  have 
held  up  his*  hands  to  heaven, 
with  this  saying,  that  he  could 
be  master  of  the  whole  world, 
if  such  soldiers  had  fallen  to 
liis  share. 

12.  Afterwards  Pyrrhus  with 
the  Samnites,  Lucanians,  and 
Brutians,  marched  towards 
Rome,  laid  all  waste  with  lire 
and  sword,  ravaged  Campania, 
and  cume  to  Prseneste  at  eigh-

mandatumque    Pyrrho     a 
senatu  est,  eum  cum    Ro- 
nianis  nisi  ex  Italia  reces- 
sisset,  pacem  habere  non 
posse.     Tum  Roman!  jus- 
serunt     captivos     cmnes,

mis  defenderc  potuissent ; 
jiec  ante  eos  ad    veterem- 
statum  reverti,  quam  sibi 
notorum    hoslium  occiso- 
rum  spoliaretulissent.   Ita 
legatus    Pyrrhi     reversus 
est  ;  a  quo  cum  qugereret 
Pyrrhus,  quale m  Romam 
comperisset,  Cineas  dixit, 
regum  se  patriam  vidisse  ; 
scilicet  tales  illic  esse  cm- 
nes qualis  unus   Pyrrhus 


ing  their  prisoners,  Ihcy  were 
honournbiy entertained  by  him: 
and  he  sent  away  all  the  pris- 
oners without  any  ransom  to 
Rome.  He  so  admired  one  of 
the  Roman  ambassadors,  Fa- 
bricius,  that  when  he  under- 
stood he  was  poor,  he  endeav- 
oured to  engage  him  to  come 
over  to  him,  by  promising  him 
a  fourth  part  of  his  kingdom, 
and  was  rejected  by  Fubricius, 
Wherefore  Pyrrhus  being  ta- 
ken with  great  admiration  of 
the  Romans,  sent  an  ambassa- 
dor to  desire  peace  upon  equal 
terms,  who  nvas  the  principal 
person  about  him^  Cineas  by 
name  ;  so  thdt  Pyrrhus  should 
have  that  part  of  Italy  which  he 
had  already  seized  by  his  arms. 
13.  This  peace  displeased 
them,  and  word  was  sent  back 
again  to  Pyrrhus  by  the  Senate, 
that  he  could  have  no  peace 
with  the  Romans,  unless  he 
retired  out  of  Italy.  Then  the 
Romans  ordered  all  the  pris- 
oners whom  Pyrrhus  had  re- 
stored, to  be  accounted  infa- 
mous, who  might  iiave  defend- 
ed  themselves  by  arms;  and 
that  they  should  not  return  to 
their  former  condition,  before 
they  had  brought  ow.'  oj  the  field 
the  spoils  of  noted  enemies 
shiin  by  themselves.  So  the 
ambassador  of  Pyrrhus  return- 
ed ;  of  whom,  when  Pyrrhus

he  found  Rome  to  be,  Cineas

The  Consuls  P.  Sulpicius  and

being  fought,  Pyrrhus  was 
wounded,  his  elephants  killed^ 
rnd  twenty  thousand  of  the  en-

thousand  of  the  Romans.  Pyr- 
rhus was  driven  to  Tarentum.

was  sent  against  Pyrrhus,  who 
bei?ig  before  amongst  the  am- 
bassadors, could  not  be  tempt- 
ed by  a  promise  of  the  fourth 
part  of  Pyrrhus's  kingdom. 
Then  whilst  he  and  the  king 
had  their  camps  near  together, 
Pyrrhub'*s  Physician  came  to 
him  in  the  night  promising  to 
take  off  Pyrrhus  by  poison,  if  he 
would  promise  him  any  thing 
for  his  fmins  :  whom  Fabricius 
ordered  to  be  carried  back 
bound  to  his  master,  and  Pyr- 
rhus to  be  told  what  the  physi- 
cian had  offered  against  his  life. 
Then  the  king  admiring  him,

cius is  the  man  that  may  with 
more  difficulty  be  removed 
from  the  ivays  of  honour,  than 
the  sun  from  his  course.  Then

Romans   first   fought  by   sea, 
ivhen  C.  Duilius,  and  Cn.  Cor- 
nelius   Asinus    ivere    consuls, 
providing/or  the  Jiurjiose  ships 
with  rostra,  which  they  called 
Liburnian.     The    consul  Cor- 
nelius was  trepanned  by  treach- 
ery.    Duilius  giving  the  enemy 
battle,  defeated  the  general  of 
the    Carthaginians,     took     31  - 
ships,  sunk  fourteen,  took  eight 
thousand  of  the  enemies,   and 
killed  3000  ;  nor  was  any  vic- 
tory   more    acceptable    to   the 
Romans, because  being  invinci- 
ble by  land,  they  were  now  very- 
powerful  too  by  sea,     C.  Aqui- 
lius  Fiorus,  and  L.  Scipio  btiing 
consuls,  Scipio   wasted  Corsi- 
ca and  Sardinia,  carried  off  ma- 
ny   thousand    prisoners    from 
thence,  mid  had  a  triumph. 

21.  L.  Manlius  Volso,  and 
M.  Attilius  being  consuls,  the 
war  was  carrietl  into  Africa, 
against  Hamilcar  the  general 
of  the  Carthaginians  ;  a  battle 
was  fought  at  sea,  and  he  was 
conquered.  For  losing  64 
ships  he  steered  off:  the  Ro- 
mans lost  23  ;  but  Sifter  they 
had  passed  over  into  Africa, 
they  first  of  all  took  Clyptia,  a 
city  of  Afi-ica,  upon  surrender. 
The  consuls  advanced  up  tu 
Carthage, and  having  laid  waste 
many  towns,  Maalius  returned 
victorious  to  Rome  ;  and 
brought  otr  twenty  seven  thou-

pest, that  of  464  ships,  scarce

strayed  away  by  tneans  of  the 
Numidians,  whom  he  had  to 
assist  him,  and  brought  them 
to  Rome  in  great  pomp,  filling 
all  the  roads  with  this  number 
of  130  elephants.  After  these 
misfortunes,  the  Carthaginians 
desired  the  general  Regulus, 
whom  they  had  taken,  to  go  to 
Rome,  and  procure  a  peaceybr 
them  from  the  Romans  and 
make  an  exchange  of  prison- 
ers.

Roman  ;  and  said,that  from  the 
day  in  which  he  came  into  the 
hands  of  the  Africans,  he  had 
ceased  to  be  a  Roman. 
Wherefore  he  both  hindered 
his  wife  from  embracing  him  ; 
and  advised  the  Romans  that  a 
peace  should  not  be  made  with 
the  Cartiia<^inians,  because  they 
being  brought  low  by  so  many 
misfortunes  had  no  hopes ; 
that  he  was  not  worth  so  much, 
that  so  many  thousand  prison- 
ers showld  be  restored  for  him 
alone,  an  old  man  and  a  few  of 
the  Romans,  that  were  taken  : 
and  accordingly  he  carried  it. 
For  no  one  would  hearken  to 
the  Africans  upon  their  desir- 
ing peace.  He  returned  to 
Carthage  ;  and  the  Romans  of- 
fering to  keep  him  at  Rome, 
he  denied  that  he  would  con- 
tinue in  that  city,  in  which,  af-

nick  war  being  ended,  which 
was  carried  on  for  22  years, 
the  Romans  being  now  famous, 
for  their  most  celebrated  glo- 
ry, sent  embassadors  to  Ptole- 
my, King  of  iEgypt,  promising 
/lim  assistance  ;  because  Anti- 
ochus King  of  Syria  had  made 
war  upon  him.  He  gave  thanks 
to  the  Romans,  but  did  not  ac- 
cept their  assistance  ;  for  now 
tlie  war  was  ended.  At  the

ried on  likewise  against  the 
Ligurians,  within  Italy,  and 
there  was  a  triumph  upon  that 
account.  The  Carthaginians 
then  attempted  to  renew  the 
war,  exciting  the  Sardinians, 
who  by  an  article  of  the  peace 
were  obliged  to  be  subject  to 
the  Romans,  to  rebel  ;  yet  an 
embassy  of  the  Carthaginians 
came  to  Rome,  and  obtained

the  Romans  had  no  war,  which 
had  happened  to  them  but 
once,  since  the  building  of 
Rome,  ivhen  Numa  Ponipiiius 
was  reigning. 

4.  The  consuls  L.  Posthu- 
mius Albinus,  Cn'<Eus  Fulvius 
Centumalus  carried  on  a  war 
against  the  Illyrians  :  and  tak- 
ing many  cities,  received  like- 
wise their  princes  upon  sub- 
mission. Then  for  the  first 
time  there  was  a  triumph  over 
iho  Illyrians. 

5.  When  L.  jEmilius  wa&. 
consul,  a  vast  army  of  the 
Gauls  passed  the  Alps  :  but 
all  Italy  was  unanimous  for  the 
Romans  :  and  it  is  recorded 
by  Fabius  the  historian,  who 
was  act-ially  present  in  that 
ivar,  that  eight  hundred  thou- 
sand men  were  levied  for  tiiat 
war  :  but  the  business  was» 
successfully  managed  by  ihn 
consuls  only  :  forty  thousand 
of  the  enemy  were  slain,  and  u 
triumph  voted  for  ^Emilius. 

6.  Then  some  years  aficr, 
the  Romans  agahi  engaged 
against  the  Gauls  within  Italy  : 
and  the  war  was  ended  by  iJie 
consuls  M,  Claudius  Marcellus 
and  Cnaeus  Scipio.  Then  Mar- 
cellus  fought  the  enemy  with  a 
small  body  of  horse,  and  slew 
the  king  of  the  Gauls,  Virido- 
marus  by  name,  with  his  own 
hand.  Afterwards  with  hi-i

Marcellus  in  his  triumph  car- 
ried upon  his  shoulders  the 
spoils  of  the  Gaul  hung  upon 
a  statue. 

7.  M.  Minucius  and  P.  Cor- 
nelius   being    consuls,   a   war 
was    made    upon  the  Istrians, 
because  they  had  robbed  some 
ships   of  the  Romans,   which 
were  bringing  corn /o  the ^ity; 
and  they  were  all  conquered. 
In  the    same  year  the  second 
war  of  the  Carthaginians  was 
made    upon    the    Romans,  by 
Annilial,   general  of  the    Car- 
thaginians,   who    ventured   to 
attack    Saguntum,    a    city    of 
Spain,  and  an  ally  of  the  Ro- 
mans,   nvhen   he  was   entering 
the  20ih  year  of  his  age  ;  hav- 
ing got  together  an  army  of  an 
hundred  and  fifty  thousand  foot, 
and    twenty    thousand    horse. 
The  Romans  charged  him,  by 
deputies  sent  for  that  fiurfioset 
to  forbear  the  war.     He  would 
not   admit  the   deputies    to  a 
hearing.      The   Romans   like- 
wise sent  to  Carthage,  desiring 
that   orders   might  be  sent  to 
Annibal,  not  to  carry  on  a  war 
against  the  allies  of  the  Roman 
people  ;  but  a  su^ly  reply  was 
made    by    the    Carthaginians. 
In  the  mean  time  the  Sagunti- 
ni,  being  forced  by  famine,  and 
taken  by    Annibal,   were  sub- 
jected to   the    most   extreme 
punishments.

self the  Alps,  as  yet  unpassed 
in  that  part.  He  is  said  to  have 
brought  into  Italy  fourscore 
thousand  foot,  and  twenty  thou- 
sand horse,  and  seven  and  thir- 
ty elephants.  In  the  mean  time 
many  of  the  Ligurians  and 
Gauls  joined  themselves  to

out  of  Sicily  to  Ariminum.

general  than  by  avoiding  battle. 
But  a  battle  being  fought  thro* 
the  impatience  of  the  consul 
Varro,  though  the  other  con- 
sul opposed  it,  at  a  country 
town,  which  is  called  Cannse,  in 
Apulia  J  both  the  consuls  are 
overthrown  by  Annibal.  In 
that  battle  three  thousand  of 
the  Africans  are  lost  ;  a  great 
pan  of  Annibal's  army  is  wound- 
ed ;  however  the  Romans  were 
not  more  roughly  handled  in 
any  battle  with  the  Carthagini- 
ans :  for  the  consul  jEmilius 
Paul  us  fell  in  it ;  and  twenty 
gentlemen  that  had  been  con- 
suls and  prgetors;  thirty  sena- 
tors were  taken  or  slain,  besides 
three  hundred  noblemen,  and 
forty  thousand  soldiers,  three 
thousand  five  hundred  horse  ; 
in  the  midst  of  which  losses 
none  of  the  Romans  would 
lAake  any  mention  of  peace. 
The  slaves,  which  /md  never 
been  done  before,  were  enfran- 
cl^sed  and  made  soldiers.

cities  of  Italy,  which  had  been 
subject  to  the  Romans,  went

swer wai  made  by  the  Senate, 
that  those  citizens  were  not 
necessary,  who  though  they 
were  armed,  Qould  be  taken 
prisoners.  He  afterwards  put 
them  all  to  death  with  various 
tortures,  and  sent  three  modii 
of  gold  rings  to  Carthage, 
which  he  had  taken  from  the 
hands  of  the  Roman  knights, 
senators  and  soldiers.  In  the 
mean  time,  in  Spain,  where  the 
brother  of  Annibal,  Asdrubal, 
had  stayed  with  a  great  army, 
to  reduce  all  that  firovince  un- 
der the  Africans,  he  is  conquer- 
ed by  the  two  Roman  generals, 
the  Scipios,  and  loses  in  that 
battle  thirty-five  thousand  men: 
of  tiicse  ten  thousand  are  taken, 
twenty-five  liiousand  are  slain  : 
twelve  thousand  foot,  four

Carthaginians  to  recruit  his

the  Brutii  ;  at  which  time 
likewise  Philip,  King  of  Ma^

the  Romans  ordered  M.  Vale- 
rius Lasvinus  to  go  into  Mace- 
donia, Titus  Manlius  the  pre- 
consul  into  Sardinia  :  for  that 
island  too  being  wheedled  by 
Annibal,  had  forsaken  the  Ro- 
mans. 

13.  Thus,  at  onetime,  the 
war  was  carried  on  in  four  sev 
eral  places  ;  in  Italy  against 
Annibal  ;  in  Spain  against  his 
brorher  Asdrubal  ;  m  Macedo- 
nia against  Philip  ;  and  in  Sar- 
dinia against  the  Sardinians, 
and  the  other  Asdrubal,  a  Car- 
thaginian. He  was  taken  alive 
by  T.  Manlius  the  proconsirl, 
who  had  been  sent  to  Sardinia  : 
there  were  slain  with  him 
twelve  thousand  men,  a  thou- 
sand five  hundred  taken,  and 
Sardinia  subdued  by  the  Ro- 
mans. The  conqueror  Manli- 
us brought  off  the  prisoners 
and  Asdrubal  to  Rome.  In  the 
mean  time  too  Philip  is  beaten 
by  Lsevinus  in  Macedonia,  and

brother  of  Annibal,  by  the  Sci- 
pios  in  Spain.

was   reduced    by    the    consul

had  begun  to  take  possession 
of :  and  abundance  of  spoil  was

pjlory    to    Rome.      Annibal  in 
Italy  sjiddenly  falling  upon  the

him  with  8000  men.

nelius  Scipio,  the  son  of  that 
Publius  Scipio,  who  had  carri- 
ed on  the  war  there,  at  four  and 
twenty  years  old,  almost  the 
greatest  man  of  all  the  Romans, 
both  in  his  own  age,  and  the 
following  time.  He  takes  Car- 
thage in  Spain,  in  which  the 
Africans  had  all  their  gold  and 
silver,  and  ammunition :  and 
noble  hostages  too,  which  he 
had  received  from  the  Span- 
iards :  he  takes  in  the  same 
place  likewise  Mago  the  broth- 
er of  Annibal,  whom  he  sends 
to  Rome  with  others.  There 
was  great  joy  at  Rome  after 
this  news.  Scipio  restored  the 
hostages  of  the  Spaniards  to 
their  parents.  Upon  which 
thing  almost  all  the  Spaniard» 
went  over  to  him  with  one  con- 
sent. And  afterwards  he  puts 
to  flight  Asdrubal  the  brother 
of  Annibal,  and  gets  abundance 
of  plunder.

Annibai's  troops  :  and  there 
he  likewise  slew  a  general  of 
Annibars  one  Carthalo  :  he 
sold  25  thousand  prisoners,  and 
divided  the  plunder  amongst 
his  soldiers,  but  brought  the 
money  arhing  from  the  men

Maximus.  In  the  following 
year  Scipio  performed  extraor- 
dinary things  in  Spain,  both  by 
himself  and  his  brother  Lucius 
Scipio  :  he  look  in  70  cities. 
Yet  the  Ro?nans  fought  with  iil 
success  in  Italy  :  for  the  con- 
sul Claudius  Marcelius  Mas 
slain  by  Annibal. 

17.  Ill  the  third  year  after 
Scipio  had  gone  to  Spain,  he 
performs  again  glo"ioub  things. 
He  admitted  a  King  of  Spain, 
after  he  had  conquered  him  in 
a  great  battle,  to  an  alliance, 
and  was  the  first  of  all  li^ho  de- 
manded no  hostages  of  a  con- 
quered enemy. 

18.  Annibal  despairing  that 
Spain  cou)d  be  kept  any  longer 
against  Scipio,  sent  for  his  bro- 
ther Asdrubal  to  Italy,  with  all 
his  forces.  He  coming  the 
same  way  that  Annibal  too  had 
come,  fell  into  an  ambuscade 
laid ybr  him  by  the  consuls  Ap- 
pius  Claudius  Nero,  and  Mar- 
cus liivius  Salinator,  at  6cna  a 
city  of  Picene  ;  yet  he  was 
slain  fighting  stoutly  :  his  great 
forces  were  cither  taken  or 
slain  :  a  vast  quantity  of  gold 
and  silver  was  carried  to  Rome. 
After  this  Annibal  began  now 
to  despair  of  the  event  of  the 
war,  and  great  courage  was 
added  to  the  Romans  ;  wRere- 
fore  they  likewise  sent  for  Pu-

•vvitri  great  glory. 


19.  Quintus  Csecilius,  ayid 
Lucius  Valerius  being  consuls, 
all  the  cities,  which  were  pos- 
sessed by  Annibal  amongst  the 
Brutii, submitted  themselves  to 
the  Romans. 

20.  In  the  14th  year  after 
Annibal  had  come  into  Italy, 
Scipio  who  had  done  many 
things  successfully  in  Spain, 
was  made  consul,  and  sent  into 
Africa  ;  in  which  man  it  was 
supposed  there  was  something 
divine,  so  that  he  w?.s  thought 
to  have  converse  with  the  Gods. 
He  engages  in  Afiica  against 
Anno  general  of  the  Africans 
and  cuts  off  his  army  in  a  great 
measure.  In  a  second  battle" 
he  took  his  camp,  with  four 
thousand  and  live  hundred  of 
his  soldiers,  eleven  thousand 
being  slain.  He  takes  Syphax 
king  of  Numidia,  who  had  join- 
ed himself  with  the  Africans, 
and  seizes  his  camp,  Syphax 
with  the  most  noble  Numidi- 
ans,  and  an  infinite  deal  of  spoil 
is  sent  by  Scipio  to  Rome  : 
which  thing  being  heard  of,  al- 
most a)l  Italy  forsakes  Anni- 
bal. He  is  ordered  by  the  Car- 
thaginians to  return  to  Africa, 
v/hich  Scinio  had  laid  waste.

21.  Thus  Italy  was  delivered 
from  Annibal  in  the  17tli  year 
of  the  wa?'t  which  he  is  said  to 
have  left  weeping.  Embassa- 
dors of  the  Carthaginians  desir- 
ed peace  of  Scipio  ;  they  were 
sent  by  him  to  Rome  to  the 
Senate.  Truce  ivas  granted 
them  for  45  days  till  they 
should  go  to  Rome  and  come 
back  :  thirty  thousap.d  pounds 
of  silvci"  wer3  received  from 
them.  The  Senate  ordered  a 
|)c'ice  to  be  made  with  the 
Carthagiiiians,  according  to  the 
pleasure  of  Scipio.  Scipio 
granted  it  \:])on  these  terms, 
that  ihcy  should  iiave  no  more 
than  30  sliips,  should  give  five 
hundred  tl^^sand  pounds  of 
silver,  and  ^tore  the  prison- 
era  and  deserters. 

2  2.  In  the  mean  time,  upon 
AnnibjTs  coming  to  Africa, the 
peace  was  interrupted,  and  ma- 
uy  hosiiiities  committed  by  the 
Africans.  Yet  their  ambassa- 
dors, as  they  ivere  coming  from 
the  ciiy  Rome,)  were  taken  by 
the  Rom.iuis,  and  by  Scipio*s 
order  dismissed.  Annibal  too 
being  conquered  in  several  bat- 
tles by  Scipio,  begged  peace 
himself  too.  When  they  came 
to  a  conference  upon  it^  it  was 
granted  upon  the  same  terms 
as  before  :  only  a  hundred 
thousand  librae  were  added  to 
the  f!\'e  hundred  thousand 
pound  weight  of  silver  for  their 
late  treachery.  These  articles 
displeased   the   Carthaginians,

and  dismissed,  th'at  they  might 
Icil  Annibal  what  they  had.scon 
amongst  tlie  Romans.

tle was  prepared  for  by  both 
generals,  such  as  scarce  ever 
was  in  any  age  ;  when  these 
most  skilful  men  drew  out  their 
troops  to  the  fight.  Scipio 
comes  off  conqueror  ;  Annibal 
himself  being  well  nigh  taken  ; 
who  got  off  at  first  with  many 
horse,  then  with  twenty,  and  at 
last  with  but  four.  Twenty 
thousand  pounds  of  silver  were 
found  in  Annibal's  camp,  and 
eight  hundred  of  gold,  with 
other  baggage  in  great  plenty. 
After  that  battle  a  peace  was 
made  with  the  Carthaginians. 
Scipio  returned  to  Rome,  and 
triumphed  in  great  glory,  and 
began  to  be  called  from  thence 
Africanus.  The  second  Car-

WHEN  Miltiades,  the  son

both  for  the  antiquity  of  his

ly hope  well  of  him,  but  even 
assure  themselves  he  would  be 
such  a  one  as  they  judged  him 
upon  trial  ;  it  happened  that 
the  Athenians  had  a  mind  to 
send  a  colony  to  the  Cherso- 
nese. Of  which  kind  officofile^ 
as  there  was  a  great  number, 
and  muny  d'-sired  a  share  in 
this  expedition  ;  some  chosen 
fiom  amongst  them,  were  sent 
to  consult  the  oracle,  what 
leader  they  should  above  oth- 
ers make  use  of.  For  the 
Thracians,  at  that  lime,  had 
possession  of  those  parts,  with 
whom  they  were  to  fight/or  it 
with  arms.  The  Pythoness 
did  expressly  order  those  that 
consulted  her,  to  take  Miltia-

clc,  Miltiades,  with  a  choice  bo- 

dtj  o/r«(?7z,  going  for  the  Cherso- 
nese with  a  fleet,  after  he  was 
come  up  to  Lemnus,  and  desi- 
rous to  reduce  the  inhabitants 
of  tiiat  island  under  the  power 
of  the  Athenians,  had  demand- 
ed, that  the  Lemnians  would 
do  that  of  their  own  accord  ; 
they  bantering  him  replied, 
That  they  would  then  do  it, 
when  he,  coming  by  ship  from 
home,  should  arrive  at  Lem- 
nus with  the  wind  called  Aqui- 
lo  :  for  this  wind  arising  from 
the  Rorth  is  full  against  those 
that  come  from  Athens.  Mil- 
tiades, having  no  time  to  stay, 
steered  on  his  course  to  the 
place  he  was  bound  for,  and 
came  to  the  Chersonese. 

Chap.  II.  There,  in  a  short 
time,  the  forces  of  ibe  barba- 
ritns  being  routed,  having 
made  himself  master  of  all  the 
country  he  went  for,  he  fortified 
places  proper  for  castles  ;  set- 
tled the  people  which  he  had 
carried  along  with  him,  in  the 
lands  ;  and  enriched  them  by 
fiequent  excursions.  Norwas 
he  less  assisted  in  that  matter 
by  good  conduct,  than  good 
fortune  :  for  after  he  had,  by 
the  bravery  ol  his  soldiers;

he  the  less  perform  all  offices 
of  due  subjection  to  the  Athe- 
nians from  whom  he  had  gone. 
By  which  means  it  came  to 
pass,  that  he  held  the  govern-

less  by  the  consent  of  those 
who  had  sent  him,  than  of  those 
with  whom  he  had  gone.  Hav-

he  returns  to  Lemnus,  and  de- 
mands according  to  their  prom- 
ise, that  they  should  surrender 
up  the  city  to  him  :  for  they 
had  said  that  when  coming 
from  home  with  a  north  wind, 
he  arrived  there,  they  would 
surrender  ;  but  that  he  now 
had  his  home  at  the  Cherso-

that  time  inhabited  Lemnus, 
although  the  business  had  hap- 
pened contrary  to  thtir  expec- 
tation, yet  being  not  moved  by 
their  promise,  but  the  good 
fortune  of  their  adversaries, 
durst  not  resist,  and  removed 
out  of  the  island.  With  the 
like  good  fort\ine  he  reduced

called  Cyclades,  under  the 
power  of  the  Athenians.

that  bridge,  whilst  he  was 
away  :  to  each  of  which  he  had 
given  the  perpetual  sovereign- 
ty of  their  several  cities.  For 
thus  he  thought  he  should 
most  easily  keep  under  his 
subjectioi^  such  as  spoke  the 
Greek  tongue,  that  inhabited 
Asia,  if  i.ie  delivered  up  those 
cities  to  be  maintained  by  his

curity would  be  left  if  he  was

then  in  this  number,  to  whom

business  but  badly,  and  was

Miltiades  advised  the  keepers 
of  the  bridge,  that  they  would 
not  lose  an  opportunity  of  de- 
livering Greece,  given  them  by 
fortune  :  for,  if  Darius  should 
perish  with  the  army  which  he 
liad  carried  over  with  him,  not 
only  Europe  would  be  safe,  but 
likewise  those  who,  being 
Greeks  by  original,  inhabited 
Asia,  would  be  free  from  the 
dominion  of  the  Persians,  and 
oil  danger.  And  that  that 
might  easily  be  effected  ;  for 
the  bridge  bein^-  cut  down  the 
king  would  in  a  few  days  per-

of  them  acceded  to  this  advice? 
Histijeus  the  Milesian  opposed 
it  so,  that  the  thing  was  not 
done,  saying,  that  the  same 
thing  was  not  expedient  for 
them  who  had  the  sovereignty 
of  their  cities,  and  the  people  ; 
that  their  authority  depended 
upon  the  kingdom  of  Darius  ; 
which  being  destroyed,  that 
they  being-  deposed  from  their 
office,  would  be  punished  by 
their  subjects.  Wherefore  he 
was  so  far  from  agreeing  to 
the  counsel  of  the  rest,  that  he 
thought  nothing  was  more  ad- 
vantageous to  them  than  the 
establishment  o/  the  kingdom 
of  the  Persians.  As  most  of 
them  followed  his  advice,  Mil- 
tiades  not  doubting,  so  many 
being  privy  »  the  iiiatter,  that 
his  counsels  would  come  to  the 
king's  ears,  quitted  the  Cher- 
sonese, and  again  removed  to 
Athens.  Whose  advice,  tho* 
it  did  not  prevail,  is  greatly  to 
be  commended,  »since  he  was 
more  a  friend  to  the  liberty  of 
all,  than  his  own  authority. 

Chap.  IV.  But  Darius,  after 
he  had  returned  out  of  Europe 
into  Asia,  his  friends  advising 
him  to  it,  that  he  might  reduce 
Greece  under  his  authority, 
fitted  out  a  fleet  of  five  hundred 
ships,  and  set  Datis  and  Arta- 
phernes,  over  it,  and  gave  them 
two  hundred  thousand  foot  and 
ten  thousand  horse  ;  alleging 
this  reason,  that  he  was  an  en-

Marathon*  That  is  distant  a- 
bout  ten  miles  from  the  town

ing very  much  startled  at  this

prodigious,  sought  for  assist- 
ance no  where,  but  from  the

in  the  field.  Miltiades  alone 
very  much  insisted  upon  it, 
that  a  camp  should  be  formed 
as  soon  as  possible  ;  if  that  was 
done,  that  both  courage  would 
grow  upon  their  countrymen,

thousand  armed  men  com-

with  a  wonderful  desire  of 
fighting  :  by  which  means  it 
came  tc  pass,  that  Miltiades 
prevailed  more  than  his  fellow 
commissioners.  For  the  A- 
thenians,  wrought  upon  by  his 
authority,  drew  their  troops 
out  of  the  city,  and  formed  a 
camp  in  a  proper  place  ;  and 
then  the  day  following  having 
drawn  up  their  army  at  the 
bottom  of  a  mountain  over  a- 
gainst  the  enejny^  with  uncom- 
mon art,  they  joined  battle  with 
the  utmost  spirit.  For  ther« 
were  trees  laid  in  many  places, 
with  this  design,  that  they 
might  be  covered  by  the  height 
of  the  mountains,  and  the  ene- 
my's horse  might  be  hindered 
by  the  lying  of  the  trees,  that 
they  might  not  be  inclosed  in 
their  numbers.  Datis  al- 
though he  saw  tJie  place  was 
not  convenient  for  his  men,  yet 
depending  upon  the  number  af 
his  troops,  was  desirous  to  en- 
gage ;  and  the  rather  because 
he  thought  it  convenient  to 
fight  before  the  Lacedemoni-

Wherefore  he  drew  out  into 
the  field  a  hundred  thousand 
foot  and  ten  thousand  horse, 
and  joined  battle.  In  which 
the  Athenians  prevailed  so 
much  more  by  their  bravery, 
that  they  routed  ten  times  the 
number  of  enemies,  and  so  af- 
frighted them,  that  the  Per- 
sians did  not  make  lor  their 
camp,  but  their  ships.  Than 
which  fight  there  is  nothing  as 
yet  more  famous  ;  for  no  army 
so  small  ever  routed  so  vast  a 
force  before. 

Chap.  VI.  For  which  -vic-

to  mention  what  reward  was 
given  to  Miltiades  ;  that  it  may.

had  assisted  the  barbarians. 
In  which  command  he  obliged

Not  being  able  by  persuasion

went  out  with.  Wherefore  he 
was  impeached  of  treachery, 
because,  when  he  might  have 
taken  Parus,  being  bribed  by 
the  king  oi Persia^  he  had  quit- 
ted the  siege  without  doing  his 
work.  He  was  at  that  time  ill 
of  the  wounds  which  he  had 
received  in  attacking  the  town. 
Wherefore,  because  he  could 
not  speak  for  himself,  his  bro- 
ther Tisagoras  spoke  for  him. 
Upon  hearing  his  cause,  being 
acquitted  as  to  Jifc,  he  was  fin- 
ed a  sum  of  money,  and  his  fine 
was  set  at  fifty  talents,  ivhich 
was  the  charge  they  had  been 
at  in  fitting  out  the  fiect.  Be- 
cause he  could  not  pay  the 
money,  he  was  thrown  into  the 
public  jail,  and  there  he  ended 
his  last  day.

Miltiadcs,  having  been  much 
in  command,  and  civil  offices, 
did  not  seem  capable  of  being 
a  private  person,  especially 
since  he  seemed  to  be  dragged 
by  custom  into  a  fondness  for 
power.  For  he  had  held,  with-

service  was  highly  valued  in 
the  battle  at  Sena,  in  which 
Hasdrubal,  the  brother  of  Han-

old,  he  began  to  write  history, 
of  which  there  are  seven  books: 
the  first  contains  the  actions  of 
the  kings  of  the  Roman  peo-

tain  an  account,  from  whom  ev-

which  reason  he  seems  to  have 
called    them   all   Origines  :  in

second  :    and  all  these  things 
arc  summarily  related.      And 
he  has  gone  through  the  other 
wars,  in  the  like  manner,  unto 
the    pretorship  of  Ser.  Galba,. 
who     rifled    the    Lusitanians. 
And  he  has  not  named  the  gen» 
eials  in  these  wars,  but  has  set 
down     the      actions     without 
names.     In  the  same  books  he 
has  given  an  account  of  what 
seemed    remarkable    in    Italy^ 
and  Spain  ;  in  which  there  ap- 
pears much  industiy  and  dili-

part  of  his  substance.  Here 
he  li"ed  so,  that  he  was  de- 
servedly \ery  dear  to  all  the  A- 
thenians  ;  for,  besides  his  in- 
terest, which  was  already  great, 
though  a  very  young  man,  he 
often  relieved  iheir  public  want 
out  of  his  own  estate.  For 
when  the  government  was  o- 
bliged  to  borrow  money  to  pay 
off  a  public  det)t,  and  could 
have  no  fair  ofl'er  for  it,  he  al- 
ways interposed,  and  so  that  he 
neither  ever  received  any  usu- 
ry of  them,  nor  suffered  them 
to  owe  him  longer  than  had 
been  agreed  J  both  which  things 
were  very  good  for  them  :  for 
he  neither  sufFered  their  debts 
to  grow  old  by  forbearing,  nor 
to  increase  by  the  multiplying 
of  usury.  He  added  to  this

haved so,  that  he  seemed  upon 
a  level  with  the  lowest,  ani/  yet 
equal  to  the  greatest  ;  from, 
whence  it  was,  that  they  pub- 
licly conferred  upon  him  all  the 
honours  which  they  couU^  and 
endeavoured  to  xiiake  him  a 
freeman  of  their  city  ;  which 
kindness  he  \Tould  not  accept,, 
because  some  construe  the  mat^ 
ter  so,  that  the  freedom  of 
Rome  is  lost  by  taking  another. 
As  long  as  he  was  there,  he 
made  such  opposition,  that  no 
statue  was  erected  for  him  j, 
when  absent,  he  could  not  hin- 
der it  :  wherefore  they  set  up- 
some  both  for  him  and  Pilia,  in 
the  most  sacred  places  ;  for  in 
the  whole  management  of  their 
government,  they  had  him  for 
their  adviser  and  agent.

cial favour  of  fortune,  that  he 
was  born  in  that  city,  above  o-

the  empire  of  the  world,  that  he 
had  the  same  both  for  his  na- 
tive place,  and  his  home  :  this 
was  a  specimen  of  his  pru» 
dencc,  that  Mhen  he  withdrew 
himself  into  that  city,  which

from  Asia,  so  long  as  he  waa

Athens  :  but  such  was  the 
sweetness  of  his  Latin  dialect, 
that  it  appeared  there  was  a 
certain  natural  pleasantness  in 
him,  not  acquired.  The  same 
man  pronounced  poems  both  in 
Greek  and  Latin  so,  that  no- 
thing could  be  beyond  it.  For 
which  things  it  was,  that  Sylla 
would  never  part  with  him  and

gers ;  to  whom  nvhen  banished 
his  country,  he  presented  two 
hundred  and  fifty  thousand  ses- 
terces. But  after  the  Roman 
affairs  were  settled,  he  returned 
to  Rome,  as  I  think,  when  L. 
Cotta  and  L,  Torquatus  nvere 
consuls  ;  which  day  the  whole 
city  of  the  Athenians  did  so  ob- 
serve, that  they  discovered  by 
their  tears  their  sorrow  for 
their  future  loss. 

Chap.  V,  He  had  an  uncle, 
Q.  Cecilius,  a  Roman  knight,  a 
friend  of  L.  Lucollus,  rich,  but 
of  ,  a  very  rugged  temper  ; 
whose  peevisl)ncss  he  bo^'e  so 
meekly,  thdt  he  kept  in  his  fa- 
vour, without  any  offence,  to  an 
extreme  age,  w;.om  nobody 
else  was  al>le  to  bear  with.;  for 
which  he  reaped  the  fruit  of 
his  dutiful  behaviour  towards 
him.  For  Cecilius,  when  dy- 
ing, adopted  him  by  his  will, 
and  made  him  heir  to  three- 
fourths  of  his  estate  ;  by  which 
inheritance  he  got  about  a  hun- 
dred times  a  hundred  thousand 
sesterces.  The  siiter  of  Alli- 
ens was  married  to  Q,  Tuliius 
Cicero,  and  M.  Cicero  had 
made  up  the  match  ;  with 
whom  he  lived  in  a  very  close 
friendship  from  the  Lime  o/'thcir

judged,  that  a  similitude  of 
manners  does  more  in  friend- 
ship than  affinity.  He  was  like- 
wise intimate  with  Q.  Horten- 
sius,  who  in  those  times  had 
the  highest  reputation  for  elo- 
quence, that  it  could  not  be  un- 
derstood whether  q/'Mf/w  loved 
him  more,  Cicero  or  Horten- 
sius  ;  and  he  effected  that 
which  was  very  difficult,  that 
there  was  no  endeavour  to  les- 
sen one  another  passed  betwixt 
those^  betwixt  whom  there  was 
a  rival ly  for  so  considerable  a 
firiz£  o/fame  :  and  he  was  the 
instrument  of  union  betwixt 
those  great  men.

self so  in  the  Commonwealth, 
that  he  both  always  was  and

to  be  more  in  their  own  power, 
who  trusted  themselves  upon 
those  waves,  than  they  who 
were  tossed  about  by  the  waves 
of  the  sea.  He  did  not  sue  for 
any  preferment  in  the  state,

reason  either  of  his  interest  or

cused any  one  in  his  own  name, 
nor  as  a  subscriber.  He  never 
went  to  law  about  any  thing  of 
his  own  ;  had  no  trial.  He  so 
accepted  of  the  commissions  of 
several  consuls  and  prsefors, 
when  offered  him,  that  he  fol- 
lowed Bone  of  them  into  his 
province;  was  content  with  the 
honour,  and  despised  the  im- 
provement of  his  estate  ;  wh» 
would  not  indeed  go  along  witk 
Q.  Cicero  into  Asia,  though  h* 
might  have  had  the  post  of 
Lieutenant-General  under  him; 
for  he  did  not  think  it  became 
him,  since  he  would  not  bear 
the  office  of  pretor,  to  be  aa 
attendant  upon  a  pretor:  in 
which  thing  lie  not  only  con- 
sulted his  dignity,  but  likewise 
bis  quiet,  since  he  avoided 
even  the  suspicion  of  erimes  : 
from  whence  it  was,  that  his

by  him  had  got  either  great

followed  his  camp  very  unwill- 
ingly, part  staid  at  home,  to  the 
great  offence  of  him  :  but  At- 
ticus's  keeping  quiet  was  so 
agreeable  to  Csesar,  that  after 
he  ivas  conqueror,  when  he 
commanded  aeveral  private 
gentlemen  by  letters  to  furnish 
him  ivith  money,  he  was  not  on- 
ly not  troublesome  to  him,  but 
likewise  gave  him  out  of  Pom-

M.  Brutus,  that  that  young  gen-

none  of  bis  own  age  than  with 
that  old  gentleman  ;  and  not

tribule  money  towards  it. 
Wlierefore  Atticus  was  s[K)ken 
to  by  C.  Flavins,  Brutus*s 
fiiend,  that  he  would  be  the 
beginner  of  that  matter  ;  but 
he,  who  thought  t^ood  offices 
were  to  be  performed  to  his 
friends  without  regard  to  party, 
and  had  always  kept  himself  at 
a  distanc£^from  such  cabi^ls,  re- 
plied, That  if  Brutus  had  a 
mind  to  make  any  use  of  iiis 
estate,  lie  might  use  it,  as  far 
as  it  woiiid  bear  ;  but  that  he 
would  neither  confer,  nor  have 
a  mectinj^  with  any  one  upon 
that  afi'air.  Thus  this  ball  of 
ai^recnxcnt  was  dashed  in  jiieces 
by  the  dissent  of  hini  idone. 
And  not  long  af;er  Antony  bc- 
p^an  to  be  uj)pcrmost  ;  so  tlsat 
Brul-us  and  Cassius,  their  case 
beiui;  desperate,  went  into  the 
provincr.s  wluch  had  l)ccn  giv- 
en them  by  the  consuls,  as  it 
were  into  banifshmcnt,  Atti- 
cus, wlio  would  not  contribute 
money,  toi;rchcr  with  the  rest, 
to  thai  parly,  luhen  ilouiistiing, 
sent  as  a  present  a  hundred 
thousand  sesterces  to  Jiru'us, 
in  (U-^tress,  and  vctiriuj^  out 
of  Italy  ;  ordered  three  hun- 
dred thousand  more  lo  be  (;iv-

therefore  flatter  Antony  now 
in  power,  nor  leave  those  that 
were  in  a  dcsperate'c-ondilion.

estate  in  licr  ])iosperiiy  to  be 
fiaid  for  by  a  certain  day,  and 
could  not  take  up  money  for 
it,  after  this  unhappy  turn,  he 
interposed,  and  trusted  her  the 
money  without  usury,  or  re- 
quiring any  formal  promise  of 
repayment,  thinkinj;  it  the 
greatest  gain  to  be  mindful  and 
grateful,  and  at  the  same  time 
to  shew  the  world,  that  he  did 
not  use  lo  be  a  friend  to  for- 
tune, but  to  men  ;  which  whea 
he  did,  nobody  could  think  that 
he  did  it  for  time-serving.  For 
it  came  inlo  nobody's  thought, 
that  Antony  would  ever  have 
the  superiority o^«y«.  But  his 
conduct  was  blamed  by  some 
of  tlie  parly  of  the  quality,  be- 
cause he  seemed  not  sufficient-

Chap.  X.  But  he  of  his 
own  judgment,  regarded  rather 
what  was  fit  for  him  to  do,  than 
what  others  would  commend. 
On  a  sudden  fortune  was  chang- 
ed. When  Antony  returned 
into  Italy,  every  body  thought 
Atticus  wo\ild  be  in  great  dan-

familiarity  of  Cicero  :Mid  Bru-

the  coming  of  the  generals  tOf

may  be  another  iiiStance  of  At-

in  such  a  close  union  with  him, 
whom  he  had  known  when  a 
boy  at  school,  thai  their  friend- 
ship grew  eve7i  to  their  old  age. 
But  Antony,  though  he  was 
pushed  on  with  so  great  a  re- 
sentment against  Cicero,  that 
he  was  not  an  enemy  to  him  on- 
ly, but  to  all  his  friends,  and  in- 
tended to  prescribe  them  ;  yet, 
n\\M\y  people  advising  him  to  tty 
he  was  mindful  of  Alticus*s 
kindness;  i.nd  when  he  had 
inquired  where  he  was,  wrote 
to  him  witik  his  own  hand  that 
he  should  not  fear,  and  that  he 
should  come  to  him  immedi- 
ately ;  that  he  had  taken  him 
and  Gellius  Canius  out  of  the 
number  of  the  proncribed;  and 
that  he  might  not  fall  into  any 
danger,  which  was  fJie7i  usual 
in  the  night,  he  sent  him  a 
guard.  Thus  Atticus  under 
the  utmost  apprehension,  was 
not  only  a  security  to  himself, 
but  also  to  him  whom  he  held 
most  dear  :  for  he  did  not  de-

his  friend,  who,  moved   by   his 
fancy  for  phylusophy,  lived  sev- 
eral years  at  Athens,  and    had 
in   Italy  valuubie   possessions;

and    Catullus  ;    and   no  less  a

Chap.  XITI.  Neither  was 
tiiis  gentleman  reckoned  a  less 
good  master  of  a  family,  than 
a  citizen.  For  though  he  was 
a  moiiied  man,  yet  nobody  was 
leijs  addicted  to  buying,  nor 
less  a  builder  ;  and  yet  he  had 
a  very  convenient  dwelling,  and 
had  all  things  of  the  very  best. 
For  he  had  the  Tampliilan 
house  in  the  Quirinal  Hill,  ail 
esute  left  Jiim  by  his  uncle, 
tlie  pleasantness  of  which  did 
not  consist  in  the  building  it- 
^elf^  but  in  a  wood  ;  for  the 
house  itself,  being  anciently 
buik,  had  more  of  neatness 
than  expense  ;  in  which  he 
changed  nothing,  unless  he  was 
forced  by  theoldness  of  it.  He 
had  a  family  of  servants,  if  we 
are  to  judge  by  convenience, 
very  good  ;  if  by  outward  ap- 
pearance, scarcely  indifferent ; 
for  in  it  were  very  learned  boys, 
very  good  readcis,  and  many 
transcribers  of  books  ;  that 
there  was  not  indeed  any  foot- 
man, that  could  not  do  both 
these  very  well.  In  like  man-

i/ie  part  of  a  moderate  man  ; 
ajid  to  procure  things  by  dili- 
gence, rather  than  purchase,  is 
a  matter  of  no  small  indusuy. 
He  was  elegant,  not  magnifi-

he  affected,  with  all  fiossible 
care^  a  neatness  that  nvas  not 
extravagaBt  ;  his  furniture  was 
moderate,  not  much  ;  so  as  to 
be  remarkable  neither  way. 
Nor  shall  I  pass  this  by,although 
I  suppose  it  may  seem  a  slight 
matter  to  some  :  though  he 
was  a  genteel  Roman  knight, 
and  invited,  not  a  little  gener- 
ously, men  of  all  ranks  to  his 
house  ;  we  know  that  i.e  did 
not  use  to  reckon  from  his  day- 
book expended  more  than  three 
thousand  asses  a  month,  one 
with  another :  and  this  wc  af- 
firm, not  as  a  thing  heard,  but 
a  certainty  :  because  we  were 
often,  by  reason  of  our  intima-

made  to  his  estate,  he  changed 
nbthing  of  his»  daily  way  of  lite  ; 
nothing  of  his  usual  method  of 
living  ;  and  used  so  much  mod- 
eration, that  neither  in  an  estate 
of  twenty  times  a  hundred  thou- 
sand sesterces,  which  he  had 
received  from  his  father,  did 
he  behave  himself  ungenteely  ; 
nor  in  an  estate  of  a  hundred 
times  a  hundred  thousand  ses- 
terces, did  he  live  more  plenti- 
fully than  he  had  been  used  to 
do  ;  and  stood  upon  an  equal 
height  in  both  fortunes.  He

at  Nomentur%;  and  his  whole 
income  of  money  consisted  in 
his  possessions  in  E»>ire,and  the

not  by  its  quantity,  but  by  the 
manner  of  using  it.

ty,  but  a  lower  fortune  than  Ca- 
sar.  For  so  much  prosperity 
attended  Caesar,  that  fortune 
gave  him  every  thing  that  she 
had  bestowed  upon  any  one  be- 
fore ;  and  procured  him  all  that 
a  Roman  citizen  could  accom- 
plish. Now  Atticus  had  a 
grand-daughter  born  of  Agrip- 
pa,  to  whom  he  had  disposed 
of  his  daughter  when  a  virgin  : 
Caesar  contracted  her,  when 
scarcely  a  year  old,  to  T.  Clau- 
dius Nero,  born  of  Drusilla, 
his  stepson  ;  which  match  es- 
tablished their  friendship,  a7id 
rendered  their  familiar  con- 
verse more  frequent. 

Chap.  XX,  Although  before 
this  match,  not  only  when  he 
was  absent  from  town,  he  nev- 
er sent  a  letter  to  any  of  his 
friends,  but  he  sent  one  to  At- 
ticus, to  acquaint  him  what  he 
was  doing  ;  especially  what  he 
was  reading,  and  in  what  places, 
and  how  long  he  would  stay  ; 
but  also,  when  he  was  in  town, 
and  because  of  his  infinite  busi- 
ness, enjoyed  Atticus  not  so  oft 
as  he  had  a  mind,  yet  no  day 
scarcely  passed,  in  which  he 
did  not  write  to  him,  in  which 
he  did  not  make  some  inquiry 
of  him  relating  to  antiquity  ; 
sometimes  he  would  propose 
some  poetical  question  to  him  ; 
sometimes  jesting  would  draw 
from  him  a  long  letter  ;  from 
which  it  happened,  when  the 
temple  of  Jupiter  Peretrius,, 
built  in  the  capital  by  Romulus,,

diiiess  of  voice  and  counte-

GENERAL  RULES  OF  CONSTRUCTION. 

to   be  learned  bv  heart, 

Rule    \.

or  words  governed  by  the  verb  ;  lastly  t)ie  preposition  (if 
any)  Avith  the  word  depending  on  it. 

Rule  2. 
A  genitive  case  is  generally  construed  after  anothernoun.

verb. 

Rule  4. 
An  adjective  or  participle,  if  no  other  word    depend  on

Rule  6.

tive  last,  i,  e,   after  the  substantive  or  word,  with  which  it 
agrees. 


17$  new  latin  primer. 

Rule  7. 
If  two  adjectives   or   participles   agree  with  the   same 
substantive,  they  must  not  be  construed  one  before  and  the 
other   after  that    substantive  ;    but  either  both  before,   by 
Rule  4,  or  both  after,  by  Rule  5. 

Rule   8. 
Let  the  relative   and  its    clause  be  construed  as  soon  ds 
possible  after  the  antecedent. 

Rule  9. 
Certain  adverbs  and  conjunctions  are  construed  before 
the  nominative  case  and  verb ;  i.  e.  they  are  construed 
first  in  their  own  clause  or  sentence  :  so  is  the  relative 
qui ;  and  so  are  cjuis  the  interro^^ative,  quantu^^  quicunque^ 
and  such  like  Avords,  (%vith  their  accomlianimtnts)  ia  v/hat- 
ever  case. 

Rule  10. 
When  a  question  is  asked,  construe   the  nom.  case  (uU' 
Xess  it  be  the  interrogative  quia,  quotums  quantus^    utcr,  Sec.) 
after  the  verb,  or   else  between    the  English  verb  and   its 
auxiliary,  expressing  the  auxiliary  ^rst. 

Rule    U. 
After  the  verb  sw?7i,  a  verb  passive,   and   a  verb   neuter, 
a  nom.    case    is    sometimes  construed  ;    but  then  there  is 
usually  anot'uer  nom.  case,  expressed  or  implied,  to   come 
before. 

Rule   12. 
An  adverb  is  not  to  be  construed  with  a  substantive,  but 
rather  with  a  verb,  or  an  adjective,  or  participle. 

Rule   13. 
Af'er  a    preposition    constantly  look    for  an  accusative, 
or  ablative  case. 

Rule   14. 
The  word  governed  must   be  construed  after  (generally 
immediir<  iy  after)    that   word,  which   governs  it ;    except 
sue     ..    tris  If  Ruic  9    specifies;    and  even  they  must  be 
construed  after  prepositions. 


kew  latin  primbr»  179 

Rule  15. 
When  in  a  sentence  there  is  no  finite  verb,  but  onlv  an 
infinitive,  with  a  nom.  case,  expressed  or  understood,  con- 
strue such  an  infinitive  like  an  indicative,  or  some  other 
finite  mood,  the  nonx.  being  construed  in  its  proper  place. 

Rule  16. 
When  there  occurs  an  accusative  case  and  an  inf.  mood, 
guod  or  utj  being-  left  out^  construe  the  ace.  first  with  the 
word  that  before  it,  because  it  is  there  virtually  a  nomina- 
tive, and  should  therefore,  with  its  adjuncts,  be  construed 
like  a  nom.  before  the  verb. 

Rule  17. 
Words  in  apposition  must  be  construed  as  near  to  one 
another  as  possible. 

Rule  18. 
All  correspondent  words  must  be  construed  as  near  to 
one  another  as  possible. 

Rule  19. 
Generally  construe  every  word  in  any  clause  you  have 
entered  on  after  the  nom.  case,  bcfoie  you  proceed  to  ano- 
ther clause ;  beginning  each  clause,  as  you  pass  from  one 
to  another,  with  the  nom.  case  and  verb,  if  there  be  such 
in  it,  and  finishing  it  according  to  Rule  1. 

Rule  20, 
An  oblique  case,  unless  it  be  an  adjunct  to  the  nom. 
should  be  construed  after  the  verb;  and  when  more  obli- 
que cases  than  one  depend  on  the  same  word,  construe  ac- 
cusatives before  datives,  datives  before  ablatives,  and  gen- 
itives, immediately  aft^r  the  words,  which  govern  them. 

Rule  21. 
When  sum  is  put  for  habeo^  th«  English  nominative  is 
exyressed  in  Latin  by  a  dative,  and  the  accusative  by  a 
nominative.  In  this  eane  construe  the  dative  first  like  a 
nominative,  then  ibe  verb,  as  if  declir>e(i  from  habeo^  and 
then  the  nominative  after  the  verb,  like  an  accusative. 


180  NE\T    LATIN    PRIMER, 

Rule  22< 
By  a  very  common  ellipsis,  the  verb  sum  may  be  under- 
stood in  any  mood  or  tense  :  when  it  is  so,  it  must  be  sup- 
plied in  construing,  as  the  sense  requires. 
Rule  23. 
By  a  most  elegant  ellipsis,  any  finite  verb  may  be  under- 
stood, and  inferred  by  reflection   from  another  verb  of  the

Rule  1. 

CONSTRUE  the  nom.  case  first,  Sec. 
^ote— Though  sometimes,  as  we  have  seen,  there  is  no  nominative 
expressed  in  the  Latin,  yet  there  is  one  always  impHed  in  every  per- 
sonal verb,  and  may  be  supplied  by  one  of  the  pronouns,  according  to 
tlie  number  and  person  of  the  verb.  Let  the  learner  attend  to  this 
ellipsis,  both  because  it  frequently  occurs,  and  because  it  is  elegant  in 
its  use,  the  pronoun  in  Latin  being  very  rarely  expressed,  unless  for 
distinction  or  energy  in  speaking. 

EXAMPLES. 

The  verb,  in  which  the  nom.  is  implied,  and  the  words,  wliich,  for 
reasons  to  be  seen  hereafter,  must  precede  the  verb  in  construction,  (if 
tliere  chance  to  be  any  such)  will  be  in  Italics.  When  the  verb  is  the 
only  word  in  ItaUcs,  construe  that  first  then  the  woixl  governed  of  itj

These  and  other  such  words,  may  perhaps  in  postion  be  so  separated 
each  from  its  fellow,  as  to  be  in  different  clauses;  but  in  construing,  the 
idiom  of  the  English  language  requires  that  they  be  rendered  as  near 
to  each  other  as  the  natui*e  of  the  sentence  will  permit ;  and,  in  order 
to  effect  this,  the  general  way  is,  not  to  construe  the  former  of  two  cor- 
responding words  till  we  can  conveniently  construe  tlic  latter. 

EXAMPLES.

Here  not  only  qua  and  -ctinqua  are  two  correspondent  parts  of  the 
same  woi-d  to  be  reunited  in  construction  ;  but  moreover,  qua-cunqve 
and  hoc  have  relation  to  one  another,  standing-,  as  we  observed  before 
of  tantum-quantimi  ('hap  X  Rule  9)  under  Uke  circumstances  of 
government  and  construction  ;  and  therefore,  though  these  two  cor- 
responding* words  cannot  be  so  immediately  united  as  serius-ocyus,non 
-secus,  eo-qiiody  yet,  as  the  rule  says,  they  must  be  brought  as  near  to 
one  another  as  possible,  which  is  to  be  effected  by  construing  hac  the 
first  in  its  own  clause,  as  quacunque  must  be  construed  first  in  it's ; 
thus  the  correspondence  between  them  will  be  duly  maintained  and 
that  entirely  by  making  hac  the  leading  word  in  one  clause,  as  quacun- 
que by  rule  9.  must  be  in  the  other.

Rule  19. 

Generally  construe  every  word  in  any  clause  you  have 
entered  on  after  the  nom.  case,  b{;fore  you  proceed  to  ano- 
ther clause  ;  beginning  each  clause,  as  you  pass  from  one 
to  another,  with  the  nom.  case  and  verb,  if  there  be  such 
in  it,  and  finishing  it  according  to  Rule  1. 

In  other  words,  finish  one  clause  generally  before  you  go  to  anodier ; 
and  construe  each  clause  in  the  order  prescribed  by  Ride  1 . 
Note. — A  clause  is  a  part  of  a  sentence  contained  between  two  stops. 

EXAMPLES. 

Here  the  words  in  Italics  must  be  construed  first  in  the  clause.

By  a  very  common  ellipsis,  the  verb  sum  may  be  un-

The  verb  to  be  supplied  will  sometimes  follow  the  example  ;  and  the 
,  after  which  it  is  to  be  construed,  will  be  in  Itahcs.

Note  — Filius  and  proles  are  of  different  genders  ;  the  adjective 
nulla  belongs  to  both ;  and  should,  according"  to  the"  rule  on  such 
occasions,  be  expressed  in  the  masculine,  nullus.  But  this  rule  is 
not  always  regarded  :  in  Cicero  we  find  this  exception  to  it.  Nan 
omnis  ERROR  stultitia  dicenda  est.  Whence  it  sccmtis  that,  if  two 
substantives,  with  which  one  adjective  agrees,  though  they  be  of 
different  genders,  do  yet  mean  the  same  thing,  the  adjective  may 
in  gender  agree  with  either.
